And the idea that America sets the norm for human rights behavior, or even adheres to it, has proved to be presently, if not always, wrong. populist Tue, 03 Oct 2006 04:38:55 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/a_forgotten_day_and_a_forgotten_country Today any group of people can get together and vote to take money away from the people who've earned it, vote to regulate the lives of other people, vote to tell other people how to live. We have long since torn up the Constitution and every single article in the Bill of Rights. populist Mon, 30 Oct 2006 18:33:12 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/afghanistan_the_other_lost_war The US war on Afghanistan was planned well in advance (at least a year or more) of 9/11 - which provided the claimed justification for it. It was part of the US strategic plan to control the vast oil and gas resources of Central Asia that Zbigniew Brzezinski under President Carter explained the importance of in his 1997 book The Grand Chessboard. populist Thu, 12 Oct 2006 05:15:48 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/american_democracy_slogan_or_action A recent survey found that just 1% out of 1,000 Americans could name all five First Amendment freedoms afforded to them, compared to 22 percent naming all five characters from the Simpsons television show. The fundamental fact that most Americans cannot identify the rights afforded to them under the First Amendment is a startling problem. populist Mon, 06 Nov 2006 20:55:45 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/an_urgent_task_for_the_new_congress what could be more important than Congress fulfilling its responsibilities in dealing with very serious questions that go to the heart of our Constitution, laws, our democracy and the honor of the United States of America? populist Wed, 25 Oct 2006 05:01:52 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/anthrax_iran_bin_laden_waiting_for_the_october_surprise Presidential advisor Karl Rove has been touting his "October surprise," aimed at keeping Republicans in office. While Rove will most certainly exploit the fear factor, the question remains if we'll let ourselves be fooled - yet again. populist Mon, 02 Oct 2006 20:03:06 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/bush_s_permanent_war_economy_must_crash Rarely discussed is how the endless war on terror requires a permanent war economy, with taxpayers subsidizing the military industry at the expense of domestic social programs and global security. populist Fri, 03 Nov 2006 19:41:01 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/can_republics_and_democracies_really_co_exist It is unrealistic and impossible to expect a government to abide by the strict letter of the Constitution. Doing so is choosing to be condemned to the very history our founding fathers fought to change. Had they known that the true nature of government is power, they might have thought differently, or fought harder to limit that power. populist Wed, 15 Nov 2006 17:54:16 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/clarification_of_the_uses_of_impeachment We have seen a great deal of nitpicking as to what constitutes a high crime and misdemeanor, but it is obvious from the context that one of the greatest high crimes and misdemeanors is a breach of public trust. populist Sun, 26 Nov 2006 17:31:05 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/death_to_the_tyrant Iraq has turned into a killing field as bad as those in Cambodia under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. Much of the killing and torture is due to warring factions, but all too frequently, the triggermen are occupation forces. populist Sun, 12 Nov 2006 23:44:46 GMT
